QUESTION:
A phosphorus compound that contains 34.00% phosphorus by mass has the formula \(v\) . Identify the element X.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Let us assume that the total mass of \(X_{3} P_{2}\) is 100g. Therefore, we have 34g of phosphorus in 100g of \(X_{3} P_{2}\).
Amount of X present in \(X_{3} P_{2}\) is = 100g - 34g = 66g of X
